Paper presented at the Stellenbosch University Library 2010 Symposium / IFLA Presidential Meeting. Knowing is not enough: Engaging in the knowledge economy, 18 to 19 February 2010. Access to information and knowledge is a fundamental requirement for the development
of a knowledge-based economy. From a publisher’s perspective the potential and pitfalls
of open access publishing will be assessed in relation to providing a platform for a
knowledge-based economy. The speaker will draw on experience gained as the Director
of an open access Press in South Africa to address the issue.
